Wildfires Burned in Antarctica 90 Million Years Ago
A new study finds evidence for the southernmost wildfires currently known, which may have facilitated a transition from temperate rainforest to peatland in Antarctica.
Science on Repeat, Peat, Peat
Scientists and Knowledge Keepers, industries and communities are all seeking answers—and finding even more questions—buried in carbon-rich wetlands.
Where Fire Ends, Chemistry Begins
Once smoke is generated, chemical reactions reshape its gaseous and particulate constituents, altering what travels downwind and what people, ecosystems, and the climate are exposed to.
Fungi Are Holding the Food Web Together. New Research Images This Underground Network.
By combining computer tomography—the same technology used for medical scans—with a high-powered particle accelerator, researchers have imaged the network of roots, fungal structures, and soil together in their natural environment.
Fast, Severe Wildfires Can Change How Forests Grow Back
These blazes can cause ecological shifts even in fire-adapted forests.
Chemical Conversations Between Forests and the Sky Affect Air Quality, Clouds, and More
Trees release invisible gases that can create clouds, trap heat, and worsen pollution. Scientists are busy trying to unravel forests’ complex atmospheric contributions in a changing climate.
Seasonality is Changing for Extreme Dry and Humid Heat Events
NASA’s MERRA-2 reanalysis of past weather and climate reveals substantial shifts in extreme heat seasonality over the past 45 years.
Dust and Marine Halogens Team Up to Destroy Tropospheric Ozone
Mineral dust-activated halogen chemistry is an important yet under-studied natural sink of the tropospheric ozone with implications for the Earth’s oxidative balance, crop yields, and human health.
EPA Will Remove Carbon Dioxide Limits on Power Plants
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency will announce the repeal of federal limits on power plant carbon dioxide emissions, finalizing a proposed rule that the agency has been considering since last spring.
The repeal means that coal-, oil-, and gas-powered electricity plants in the United States will no longer need to limit their carbon dioxide…
Seeking Closure to Better Understand Earth’s Energy Balance and Water Resources
Accounting for the total energy budget of Earth’s ecosystems has real-world implications for water resource management, land use policy, and monitoring of crop conditions.
